People say the strangest things here...
- unnah 4y agoMIT Technology review: "Fewer than 10% of European homes have an air conditioner" https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/07/20/1056271/europe-heat-waves-air-conditioning/ https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/07/20/1056271/europe-h...
- wink 4y agoNot sure where you're thinking, but in central Europe AC is actually really rare. I'm not sure I could name more than 1 or 2 friends who have one, and it's usually some portable unit and not something installed. Doesn't matter if house or apartment, rented or owned.
- balfirevic 4y agoNot central Europe. I'm in Croatia and everyone I know has it. I have it in every room (split units), and have had it in every rented apartment since I stopped renting student accommodation. I'm not saying it's prevalent everywhere in Europe, I'm saying that it's a bad generalisation because it varies a lot within Europe.
- f6v 4y agoRight, right. I can be more specific: Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, UK. Aka “the rich” Europe.
- wink 4y agoMore like all the countries where you simply don't need one, because 30° used to be a very hot day and not the norm. Not the one who originally posted, I probably would have clarified "most of Europe", going by population. (I really do wonder about the south of France...)
